Do you have any wheel hop? My G35c had terrible wheel hop issues.

The first night I took it out it was perfect, just squatted and spun a hair - the ideal launch. You can see how consistent I was... back to back 14.17's and then back to back 14.05's. 60fts were right there as well - just kept chipping away at it.

The next few weeks I went, it was more hit or miss off the line. After being so close to a bone stock 13 sec pass right out of the box, I kept pushing it harder off the line to try and get a 13 sec slip, and losing my focus, which you can see on the chart of my passes the next few times I went out. I was playing around with launching at higher RPMs and it ended up wheel hopping a little and killing my ET's. For the most part, the trap speeds were consistently 100-101 with a few 102's (and a few 101.9's lol) thrown in for good measure.

Do you have wheel spin between shifts from 1st - 2nd and 2nd - 3rd?

U can't compare runs and launch techniques from one side of the country to the other. Every track/tire/technique/weather condition/DA is different in certain tracks. As i said earlier you have to find your own method of launching to get good results. One thing is universal with G35s is to let the clutch out till the grabbing point at the stop light.
